They are leased by teams from NASCAR. Many numbers are being leased, but not used. A team can also "borrow" a number from another owner.
Current numbers and who controls it, to the best of my knowledge:
00~ MWR
01~ Ginn
1~DEI
2~ Penske
3~ RCR
03~ Germain Racing
4~ Morgan-McClure
04~ Morgan-McClure
5~ HMS
6~ RFR
7~ Robby Gordon Motorsports/Racing
8~ DEI
9~ EMS
09~ Pheonix Racing
10~ EMS/Valvoline (combined ownership)
11~ JGR
12~ Penske
13~ Ginn
14~ Ginn
15~ DEI
16~ RFR
17~ RFR
18~ JGR
19~ EMS
20~ JGR
21~ Wood Bros
22~ BDR
23~ BDR
24~ HMS
25~ HMS
26~ RFR
27~ Shelmerdine
28~ RYR
29~ RCR
30~ RCR owned it, CGR has used it most recently on loan. Ware Racing is supposed to use it instead of the 52 this year (road courses). Not sure if RCR still owns it and is just loaning it or what.
31~ RCR
32~ PPI
33~ RCR
34~ Front Row Motorsports
36~ BDR
38~ RYR
39~ CGR owned it. Ginn is using it this year, and I am not sure if it is a loan or not.
40~ CGR
41~ CGR
42~ CGR
43~ PE
44~ PE owned it and is loaning it to MWR, unless Mikey somehow convinced them to sell it, but I think it is on loan.
45~ PE
47~ Wood Bros
48~ HMS
49~ BAM Racing
55~ MWR
58~ Hylton Motorsports
60~ Simo Racing
61~ Front Row
66~ Haas/CNC
70~ Haas/CNC
71~ Braun Racing
72~ CJM
74~ McGlynn
77~ Penske
78~ Furniture Row Motorsports
80~ JGR
83~ TRB
84~ TRB
88~ RYR
92~ Front Row
96~ Hall of Fame Racing
99~ RFR
Those are all the ones that I know off the top of my head. Some may actually be loans, I am not 100% on all of them.
Most times a part-time team will have a "1" in front of the number. For example, entry lists and race results will list Boris Said as 160, not 60.

Who owns the Nextel Cup car numbers?
NASCAR owns and assigns car numbers to an owner(s). NASCAR reserves the right to revoke or transfer car numbers to another owner/team at any time. Car numbers are non-assignable and non-transferable, except by NASCAR. NASCAR works with teams and sponsors when a specific number is requested. If duplication of numbers occur, which usually happens with the part-time teams, the fastest qualifier usually gets to use the number unless one team is considered full-time. In 2002, the #27 was used by Scott Wimmer for Bill Davis Racing and by Kirk Shelmerdine, both part time, however, Wimmer was listed in the #27 and Shelmerdine in the #`172 and when they attempted the same races, Wimmer got to use the #27 and Shelmerdine ran the #72, so NASCAR uses it's judgement in deciding who runs the number.(9-6-1999/9-17/2003)

properly in NASCAR communities purchase the numbers from NASCAR each and each and every year & reserve others besides. In NASCAR no volume is retired. As for the #3 it isn't being utilized via any team (although his former team proprietor Richard Childress does purchase the rights for the volume each and each and every year nonetheless seeing that 2001) in simple terms out of appreciate to Dale Earnhardt. NASCAR makes use of automobile numbers #00 to #ninety 9. The #00 numbers variety from #00 to #09. and obviously something are the classic #a million to #ninety 9.

NASCAR owns the numbers and least them to the racing teams.If a team wants a number that another team has then the owners would meet and work out a deal.Some numbers are significant to a team will not make any type deals.
That's all I have to say about that.

The team owner buys rights to the numbers, and he/she can change them if no one else has the number they want. The only strange thing in NASCAR is the fact that Richard Childress is allowed to keep the number "3" so no one else can use it.

NASCAR teams own the rights to their numbers. If a number is open (not used or owned by another team) than a new team can claim that number.

Basically, they pick the number, and if it isnt used, they can be allowed to use it. The situation with the 3, its "unoffically retired", but if Richard Childress wants to use it at any time, he can be allowed to again.
If someone has a particular number they want to use, but is already taken, they can apply for a #100 number (like #154, #170, etc), though if someone else uses the number (#54, #70, etc), they have to don a different number. Other than that, cars are not allowed to carry 3 digit numbers

They pick a number and ask NASCAR if they can use it. For example they might pick number 3, although it isnt being used, NASCAR wouldnt give them that number because it is retired to Dale Earnhardt Sr.

They have to check with NASCAR as to its availability and then apply for it. If another owner is using it and will not let it go they will have to find another number to use.

I think that the Car Owner has the right to choose the number
